If you don’t see your translated product reviews on your site, make sure the setting that shows reviews in all languages is enabled.

Registering Missing Product Reviews for Translation

By default, WPML only auto-registers strings from new product reviews. This helps avoid storing too much data in your database translation table.

To translate older product reviews, you need to register them for translation first: 

  1. Go to WooCoomerce → WooCommerce Multilingual.
  2. Switch to the Status tab and click the Troubleshooting link at the bottom-right corner of the page.
  3. Next, check Register product reviews for translations and click Start
